Oceanic Cyanea and Accel Pack

The Oceanic Cyanea and Accel Pack is a fantastic scuba diving soft ware package that is a mid range price point and can be used for beginners or advanced divers. It consists of the Oceanic Cyanea mask, Ultra dry snorkel, Accel fin and 5mm boot.

The Oceanic Cyanea Mask is a newer mask on the market and this particular one has something that all of our others mask do not have. Oceanic has put a unique ski-goggle style elastic mask strap in place of the standard silicone strap. This is a huge plus and makes your diving that little more comfortable. Most of you will know how it feels when the silicone strap grips and pulls your hair, guys and girls say this all the time. With the new elastic style strap, this will not happen as it does not pull at your hair and sits comfortably on the back of your head without slipping. The Oceanic Cyanea Mask has a extremely large wide field of vision which allows your peripheral vision to be wider also. Instead of having side clips, the Cyanea's new strap is adjusted along the strap with a cool new adjusting slider. Made with 100% silicone, this mask fits majority of faces, however keep in mind that it is a little on the larger side, so those smaller thin faces probable will not suit this mask.

How to look after your mask: All of our masks here at Dive Warehouse are made from 100% silicone with tempered glass. When a mask is made, it gets a thin layer of silicone on the inside of the glass. This is what causes it to fog. Anti-fog's will not work until it has been pre-cleaned, as to work it needs to reach the glass and with the silicone layer covering this, it cant work. To remove this layer of silicone, you will need to purchase a pre-cleaner or you can use toothpaste. These products have a slight abrasive in it and will scrub off that silicone layer. A blob of paste on to each lenses on the inside only, give it a good scrub and rinse off with fresh water. Repeat this process 3 times to ensure you have scrubbed off all of the silicone layer, then you can anti-fog. The glass will not get scratched as it is tempered. You can purchase a good quality anti-fog here at Dive Warehouse, or you can spit or lick the inside of the lens as spit is a natural anti-fog! After you have cleaned your mask and are no longer fogging, you will need to wash your gear after every use to prevent it from perishing. The best way to clean you mask and snorkel is to put them in a tub of fresh warm water and give them a good rinse. this will take off all of the salt and sand that you get from the ocean. Store them away in a dark dry place to prevent the silicone from turning an off color. The sun will do this if you store them in direct sunlight.

The name Oceanic Ultra-Dry Snorkel says it all. Designed to be exactly what its name suggests, the Ultra dry snorkel incorporates Oceanic's patented dry snorkel technology into an ultra-low profile product that is ergonomically designed for comfort and function. This technology creates a seal to eliminate water entering the snorkel barrel, while achieving superior air flow performance on the surface. The oversized purge valve allows for easy clearing, made from 100% liquid silicone, both the purge and the mouthpiece can be replaced if needed. The Ultra Dry comes with a quick-release swiveling snorkel keeper that attaches to your mask and is designed to swivel to prevent any jaw fatigue of neck pain. When scuba diving, a snorkel is a must as well as when you are snorkeling. Without a good quality snorkel, your water experience could potentially be ruined so by purchasing this particular snorkel, you are guaranteed a great time.

The Oceanic Accel Fin is a compact and light weight fin that is used for scuba diving as is gives a lot of power using the Centre channel and side rails to collect as much water as possible to then give you maximum thrust. The angled blade has superior water flow and in fact allows divers to get efficient movement using different kicking methods. The unique stretch heel straps are a bungee style where you can adjust the length by choosing which hole on the strap suits your size. You can do this by unhooking the strap from the lug on each side of the foot pockets and then placing the strap where ever you need it to make the strap nice and tight. Once you have your correct size in strap, you can simply slip the fin on and off without having to adjust it. This means its an easy on and off when in the water and it actually reduces drag as you have eliminated the buckle system.

The Accel fins come standard in Black, however Oceanic have created different color strap kits that you can purchase separately to jazz up the fins and make them your own. It is always a good idea to have a spare strap system when diving as you never know when or if one will break so if you grab a color kit for the Accel fin, you will always have the black ones that they come with as spares.

The Oceanic 5mm Dive Boot is perfect for diving all year round due to it being 5mm, this will keep your feet warm in winter and still give you protection in the warmer months. This particular boot has glued and stitched seams which means it is super durable and will last many years, with care of course. When ever you are diving with an open heel fin, a dive boot is necessary as without this, you will encounter blisters, cuts and abrasions. The rubber protection that runs up the top boot stops the fin from rubbing on the boot and wearing it out, so this is a great feature, as well as the corrosion proof zipper.

Sizing: The general size of this boot is in mens sizing, so female need to take roughly 2 sizes smaller.
